Reliance Jio Offers Free JioHotstar Subscription with This Recharge Plan

Reliance Jio has launched a new prepaid recharge plan that includes free access to JioHotstar, the recently introduced streaming service formed by the merger of JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar. This merger, facilitated by Viacom18 and Star India, combines content from both platforms along with premium titles from international studios.

While JioHotstar can be subscribed to separately on a monthly or annual basis, Jio users can now enjoy a complimentary subscription through a special recharge plan.

Details of the Rs 949 Jio Prepaid Plan

The Rs 949 prepaid recharge plan from Jio comes with multiple benefits, making it an attractive choice for entertainment and communication needs. Here’s what users get:

• Free 90-day JioHotstar Mobile subscription

• 84 days of validity

• Unlimited voice calls

• 100 SMS per day

• 2GB of high-speed data per day (speed reduces to 64kbps after the daily limit)

The JioHotstar Mobile plan typically costs Rs 149 for three months, but with this recharge, Jio users can enjoy it for free. The plan allows streaming on a single mobile device and includes ads. Users who wish to continue their subscription after the 90-day free period can either recharge again with Rs 949 or opt for a paid plan.

Additional Benefits for Jio Customers

Along with JioHotstar access, the Rs 949 prepaid plan also includes:

• JioTV – Live TV and on-demand entertainment

• JioCloud – Cloud storage for Jio users

For those currently using JioCinema or Disney+ Hotstar, their subscriptions will remain valid until they expire. After that, they must either subscribe to JioHotstar separately or continue with Jio’s Rs 949 prepaid plan for uninterrupted access.
